Pumpkin Cookies

2 1/2 c. all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/2 c. butter, softened

1 1/2 c. granulated sugar

1 c. solid pack pumpkin

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 c. chopped walnuts (opt)

These can be frosted with a butter cream frosting, or a cream cheese frosting, but you will have to search for a recipe. Sorry, I don't have an exact recipe for the frosting. When I make mine, I just dump the ingredients together.

But I do have the recipe for the whoopie-pie filling. That will come later.

Smooth tops of cookies (I used a lightly floured bottom of glass and lightly press). Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned. When using baking stones, they are done in 15 minutes. The time may be different on regular cookie sheets.

MMMM! I prefer crunchy cookies, but when it comes to soft ones, pumpkin is my first choice. These look divine...I think this is the recipe you got a blue ribbon for from Just a Pinch, is that correct? No wonder you are loved sooo much! =)
